RED HILL – Sen. Tracy Pennycuick (R-24) issued the following statement in response to Gov. Josh Shapiro’s event today held in the 24th District in Douglasville, Berks County regarding manufactured housing in Pennsylvania:
“It is wrong what is happening to the residents of manufactured housing communities across our state, and I am encouraged by the governor’s words and speaking to the seriousness of this issue. I have been advocating for residents in my district since the day I took office, and I look forward to working in partnership with the governor to move meaningful solutions through the General Assembly. The truth is many of these residents are seniors and families living on fixed incomes who are now being priced out of the neighborhoods they have called home for years. With few alternatives available, they are being squeezed by relentless rent increases, many driven by private equity investors treating these communities like profit centers instead of neighborhoods.”
